Loved almost everything about the course! Only ask would be to update syllabus with updated reading material - some aspects of the readings have gone stale given how fast the world of technology is changing! Thank you Prof. Hartman!

Good content and presentations well done by the instructor. My only criticism is that some of the material is very dated and probably should be updated. This was my first course in the program and I will continue the curriculum.

Some contents are overlapped, especially Lesson 7 feels like a recap of all previous lessons.

Tool list is really helpful.

Other examples could be written in more details.

The narrative is easy to follow, reasonable pace of speech

As it has said in the course, there is not any technical stuff here.

I personally enjoyed it because of the new material I learned about marketing, analytics and research.

Take the other analytics course for better insight.

I think this course is a good introduction for newbies who doesn't know anything about marketing analytics. But minus one star here is that I think it's too easy and simple even for starters, could have gone deeper.

I liked the simplicity of the course. The advanced concepts are being explained in simple terms. However, I suggest that certain explanations are confusing between terms that needed more elaborations. Thank you.

A very good class that gave us a thorough look into various types of digital analytics. My only complaint is that I wish that we could receive detailed exercises like the ones provided in the first course.

Structured course with very good information, but sometimes it felt superficial. I know 4 weeks is very short time to fulfill tons of topics on this course, but i think you can push students a bit more.

Informative and good for setting a foundation for marketing analytics. I wish there were a few more practical assignments VS. peer-graded activities and quizzes. But, overall, found this quite helpful.

Especially in comparison to the first lecture, which was excellent, this second one is only good.

Not very much content and the lecturer is - despite his unquestionable expertise - not the best lecturer

Great content. I would have preferred it if we had gone through a real example. None the less, it was a great course I definitely found the consumer decision journey model and the ZMOT very insightful.

I liked it but I would like a bit more deepness with the paid data topic, I didn't really understood why it is more trustworthy, I believe that is a very important topic and needs a lesson on its own

Excellent information and presented in an easy-to-understand format. My only reason for not giving this course five stars was how many examples and details were out of date and not current to today.

Good content, however I found this course abit too theoretical, would be great to have more real life case studies and practical application of different tools? analytic techniques and metrics.

Base content is good

Consider merging this course with the next one i.e Digital Analytics for Marketing Professionals: Marketing Analytics in Practice.Many of the readings and slides are common

Los cursos son bastante buenos , pero son difíciles para los que no vive en EEUU, dado que nuestra tecnología no es la mas avanzada y se dificulta cumplir con los objetivos de evaluacion

I looove the course! Though there were some mistakes in the powerpoint and in the practice quiz (they were repeated or talks about a different topic) at the very end but that's alright!

very cool stuff, although the content could be a bit more compressed for this course and the next, I have the feeling that there are many redundancies and stuff that comes more than once

A very well covered course. However, it would have been great if examples and best practices were included depicting the use of various digital techniques in a bit more detail. Regards.

Some of the case study is a bit long time back, still helpful but maybe it will be more effective to read recent theories and articles and researches. Thank you for this great platform.

Good introduction into the material. It's great how rating other students' writeups helps you penetrate the material yourself, especially since there are no right or wrong answers.

Great information in this course. Excited to learn these tools in practice. Some of the links and materials given are a little outdated or unavailable which needs to be rectified.

If you have slightly dabbled in the digital marketing space, you have probably come across what you will learn in this class. But overall, it was a very good beginner course.
